Both Cole’s were seen running around the BT Sport studio celebrating during the game and were buzzing with the result after it.
‘I think west ham will win the tournament,’ Joe said. I said it at the start of the year that I think they’ve got a great chance of winning this tournament with all the ingredients so why not, let’s get ready for Sevilla.’
Carlton was slightly less committal, saying: ‘we take game by game. I think we can go all the way but I don’t like to say it. Every time I do say things like this it goes against me.
David Moyes has been proving me wrong since he got here. I’m just happy we’re here.
